What the hell?
Reeks of M&S. Ask Gevlon why everyone who is in a guild past 4/12 is seriously considering how retarded the question even is. Then ask about how he cleared 9/12 ICC in only blue gear. Then go wipe on Marrowgar with that RS geared tank because DPS didn't attack bonespikes.

2)Holeofart ( hope i spelled it correctly, i haven't checked the name entirely) just sticks to his sad idea of gs solving all your problems in a raid.
"If average gs on a raid is more than 5.5k you won't wipe, you won't have aggro problems, and you will get all the achievements and the best loot."
Why? Because the God of GearScore loves his makings!
Sincerely, dude, putting all the complicated charts and what not at a side, think clearly: what do you preffer? a number, or a sight in what a player is?
a number or how many the player kills on a boss/gems/enchants/BiS/stats that player has ?
Take the example: a 5.8k gs warrior wearing mail items. wouldn't you bash your head to the closest wall seeing that? i would!
but, maybe, that war is a good dps! forget the gs and let's inspect him..he has spell power, haste and int items, just suited for a shammy? I guess that makes another bash...
you take no further look and kick the war. You get a fresh one of 5.8k gs. You want to get to the bashing again? Just ask the tactics, inspect the gems/enchants/stats/Bis. It spares you alot of wasted time either answering , kicking players or bashing your head to random walls.
Having said that, you can either take the right choice, of inspection, or you can go hug a number, but make the number over 5.5k
Cheers!
I laugh at you. Hard.
You clearly didn't read a thing I said. What you put into quotations I never wrote. Half of what you just said didn't even make sense. I never ever said looking at GS alone is something that works, I said that the addon GearScore, can be a helpful addon
if used correctly and to its full potential
.
Reading what you wrote sickens me.
Also, due to poor itemization, a pair of Leather Bracers are one of the best pieces for a Warrior, and if I remember correctly, are BiS if they're heroic.
You're clearly a
really
bad player. Sorry.

Just to point out, most of these conversations are looked at from a PuGing perspective. You can't really compare a guild of 10 smart players who know every part about the fight and know how to play their class for 100% efficiency to your run of the mill PuG.
And they spent hours on hours of wiping trying to find ways to make up for their gear, which is a lot of dedication. PuGs won't hold together for more than a few wipes.

When undergeared was started they wiped on gunship do to people not knowing what to do, I would hardly call that knowing every part of the fight. Also the majority of undergeared is playing a toon they never had before and are learning it as they go along (compare patchwerk VS festergut numbers, festergut was alot higher then the extra 25% from the buff).
Hate to say it but zakkhar is right on this one and I would much rather join a raid with the leader who has never installed GS.
GUYS SRSLY IF U R MIKEAL SKUMACHER IN A BUGGIE U PROBABY BEAT ME IN RACE WITH BIG CAR
Well no #@&%.
9 pages in and you guys still haven't a clue what the topic is about.
My thoughts exactly... I'm pretty sure they didn't even read my argument with Zakkhar and just saw the words, "
GS is bad
" and were like, "Yes! I can relate to that! Let's babble on about how GS has affected
my
gameplay experience in a negative way and then
act like I've been in this debate all along!
Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
I hate you all for your intellect and wisdom towards GS. (Sarcasm for those who don't understand it. Actually, if you didn't understand it, I do hate you.)

Interest made a funny. Kind of. It was worthy of the +1, imo, so no worries.

It's my default answer to anything involving a Gearscore argument. Also my way to not actually participate in the argument and completely derail it.
(In trade chat, anyways)
Btw, on topic. Gonna do a rough quote of something.
Running an instance is:
25% Gear
25% Skill (as in knowledge of the class)
50% Knowledge of the instance
Something like that. I'll find out for real when I get to check the book again.

I'm not even in trade 90% of the time. Or any channel really, except my guild's and my channel that my personal friends on WoW and I set up.
It's nice to be oblivious to the trolls.

GS shows certain amounts of skill.
It shows that you do know the basics of the fights.
It shows that you did know that enchanting and gemming is needed for a good DPS/healing/tanking job(Enchants and gems do count for a chunk of your GS)
It finally shows that you more than likely had past experiences(I doubt all of your gear dropped the first run you ever did that instance...)And that you may know different experiences of certain things happening.
It shows certain sections of your skill,but it does not show your overall skill.
you sir is FAILING BIG TIME GS addon DO NOT show gems or enchants cos it CANT by blizzard know what it actuay do befor posting unless this was fixed in the most resent patch and gear score addon it is not calculating for ANY form of gems or enchants
gear score is a tool its not better then the person using it thats proberly why its so many bad ppl using it making ppl so know hwo to use it look bad compered to the other ppl

Until yesterday when I
finally
managed to get a better melee weapon drop and win roll for me, my GS was a few hundred points higher when I was equipped with my fishing pole. If I had equipped all the spell users gear I've won on greed rolls I'd have a higher GS as well. I've learned that GS doesn't equal skill, it equals luck of the roll and boring repetitive doing the same things over and over to get enough badges to gear up with. Where is the skill in that?
"Yes! I can relate to that! Let's babble on about how GS has affected my gameplay experience in a negative way and then act like I've been in this debate all along! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
You don't even know what we're talking about, and just proved my point completely.
